Possibly the sanest thing to come out of the Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson and subsequent nationwide protests is the call from community leaders to boycott shopping during the Black Friday weekend.

I’d say the best way to get “them” to start redressing grievances is to vote with your wallet. Voting in elections isn’t working (has it ever?), hashtag activism from the comfort of your Facebook feed is the epitome of masturbation, and burning shit down is counterproductive, to put it mildly.
